Alabama Republican Gov. Kay Ivey signed legislation on Thursday allowing President Joe Biden to be on the red state’s ballot in 2024.
GOP Secretary of State Wes Allen wrote a letter on April 9 warning that the Democratic National Convention was scheduled days after Alabama’s Aug. 15 deadline to provide presidential and vice presidential nominees for the ballot. The legislation, which was approved by both Republican-controlled chambers of the state legislature, pushed the due date back from 82 days before the general election to just 74, NBC News reported.
“Joe Biden will be on the ballot in all 50 states,” Charles Lutvak, spokesperson for the Biden campaign, told NBC News in a statement. “Election after election, states across the country have acted in line with the bipartisan consensus and taken the necessary steps to ensure the presidential nominees from both parties will be on the ballot. And this election is no different.”
